Copt Hall Marshes (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
As a working farm, the National Trust’s work at Copt Hall balances arable crop production and access with coastal nature conservation. The work ranges from creating nectar-rich field margins for insects and adders to the maintenance of wet grassland for waders and wildfowl. This is also a very important breeding area for birds; attracting arable species such as lapwings, and scarcer ones like barn and short-eared owls, kestrels and marsh harriers.
About the area
